Use a LOD! It has less detail but retains the shape.

we're not saying you didn't do good Sandwich, you did awesome, but if you could (if possible) post the .PSD file or a very, very large image, so someone with a lot of time can erase most of the wireframe that'd be great i'm sure :) :nod:

GE, what's a LOD? Light Emitting Diode?

If you're going to use extended analogies, at least have them make sense. Sticking random words together does not, contrary to popular belief, make you look like you have even a vague understanding of the English language.

*ahem*

FYI, I tried with an LOD. To get an idea of the kind of results I'd get, look at the LODs in MODELVIEW32 as wireframe - they are nearly unrecognizable. LODs are only good for non-wireframe ships seen from further away, not when you can actually see every little line and polygon. :rolleyes:

For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well.

I don't model, i never claimed to model, i never tried to model, etc.

remember, you don't know squat about modding either...

1)  I thought I was on your "ignore" list?  As i said at the time you said you were going to "ignore" me:

Quote

it won't last... i reckon i'll be on it for two days or so, and then you'll "unignore" me, cause you can't resist listening to what i say...

right again i guess...

2)  There's a difference making models and converting models.
3)  Do you know anything about modelling?  i didn't think so...
4)  go away, i don't like talking to you!

I'll post how in a week - fairly simple, but impossible to automate, unfortunately. And there's that annoying hand-edit-the-extra-tiangulated-polygon-lines stange, but whatever. :)
